In April 1995, the Graduate School of Engineering started offering two majors at the master’s level: Information Systems Science, and Bioengineering. Then, April 1997, the school started offering the same majors at the doctorate level. Now, it is carrying out sophisticated research and education in both of these areas.

The 21st century has seen eco-friendly marketing practices become a necessity. Of increasing importance is the need for new education and research into the symbiosis between humans and the environment based on the relationships between the natural environment, cities, and people.

In response to this trend, we added the Environmental Engineering for Symbiosis major to our master’s and doctor’s programs in 2007. We offer a full lineup of courses that are designed to develop internationally active students and provide an internationally attractive postgraduate education.

In 2007, the Bioengineering major was renamed Bioinformatics.

From April 2020, the Bioinformatics Engineering department will be succeeded by a new Biosciences department. Furthermore, the Graduate School of Engineering will become the Graduate School of Science and Engineering.
 

Currently, the Graduate School of Engineering boasts 39 teachers and nearly 150 students who are actively conducting research in a range of related fields. We accept foreign students and researchers and cooperate with overseas research and educational institutions. We also proactively promote joint research with domestic and foreign private enterprises, accept company employees as graduate students, and permit working people to participate in our leading-edge research. The result is a postgraduate education system that is open to all members of society.
